My son’s special interest these days is chain reactions. He spends hours designing, building, testing, collecting data, reading about, and watching chain reactions.
He thinks in chain reactions. Though sometimes it is a lot, and things tend to take longer to do when it must be a chain reaction, I am in constant awe of the way his brain works. He builds marble runs that hit dominoes, that bump a toy bus, that hits more dominoes, that hits a box to trap a toy- stuff like that. Well today he came home from his grandparents’ house with a new book that his uncle found for him online. It’s called Rube Goldberg’s Simple Normal Humdrum School Day. And now we will live and breathe this book for… who knows how long. Each page is another chain reaction that helps Rube do something throughout his school day. He described each scene to me as I drove home, then asked me to read it to him when we got home, and now I’m listening as he explains each page to his dad before bed. He says he thinks some day he will be Kell Goldberg.
